Already own land
We design around your lot
Zoning, flood zone, utilities and any deed restrictions get confirmed before a design line is drawn. The build-on-your-lot guide walks the whole sequence.

The plan
Coastal Collection, our premium waterfront design.
4Beds3.5Baths3Cars2,600A/C sq ft3,991Total sq ft
The Coastal Collection is our premium waterfront design: four bedrooms and three and a half baths across 2,600 square feet under air, including two private primary suites. That second suite is what makes the plan work for multigenerational living, or for guests who want their own end of the house.
The master suite and the secondary suite sit at opposite corners of the house, each with its own bath and walk-in closet. A butler's pantry and bar sit between the garage and the kitchen, and the covered lanai spans the back of the house.
The layout is open-concept - living, dining and kitchen reading as one space under soaring ceilings, with oversized wood-plank tile, eight-foot doors, and a chef's kitchen carrying an oversized island. An expansive covered lanai with an outdoor kitchen completes the home.
It is drawn for premium, west-facing lots with direct water access and sweeping sunset views - but the plan is not tied to any one lot or community. It can be mirrored to suit which way your land faces.
What comes with it
Standard on every home we build.
Every home includes a commercial-grade aluminum metal roof and PGT impact-resistant windows, built for Florida weather and built to lower your insurance and energy bills for as long as you own it. Integrated smart home technology for lighting, climate and security comes standard.
- Four bedrooms, two private primary suites. Built for multigenerational living, or for guests who want their own space.
- Chef's kitchen. An oversized island, a walk-in butler's pantry, and premium finishes throughout.
- Open-concept layout. Living, dining and kitchen flow together under high ceilings and eight-foot doors.
- Oversized wood-plank tile. Durable flooring with a decorative floor base, which is the right call for Florida.
- Covered lanai with outdoor kitchen. Running the back of the house, so the indoor and outdoor rooms work as one.
- Customizable designer finishes. A curated palette to select from, with our team guiding the choices.
Exterior design options
One plan, more than one face.
The floor plan stays put while the elevation changes. Drag through the 4 drawn for the Coastal - either of the first two can be adjusted before permitting, because the street your lot faces changes what looks right on it.
White stucco
Smooth stucco, turquoise louvred shutters and a wood double door behind a railed porch.
Gulf-blue siding
Lap siding, a stone entry surround and a deeper porch. Same door, same roof.
The rear elevation
The lanai runs the width of the living space, behind a wall of sliders.
At dusk
The same elevation with the front rooms lit.Inside the plan
A walk through the house.
Renderings show one finish option rather than a fixed specification - tile, counters and fittings are chosen with our team once the home is under contract.
Living
One room, three ways to use it.
Living, dining and kitchen read as one space under a tray ceiling, with the lanai doors closing the far end. The bedroom wing opens off either side, so the noise stays in the middle of the house.
The kitchen
An island the length of the room.
The island runs the full length of the kitchen with bar seating down one side, a gas cooktop and wall ovens behind it, and a walk-in butler's pantry off the back toward the garage.
The primary suite
Two suites, at opposite corners.
Each primary suite takes its own corner of the plan with a bath and walk-in closet behind it. Tall windows sit either side of the bed, and the bath carries twin vanities with a freestanding tub between them.
Outdoors
A lanai the width of the house.
The covered lanai runs the width of the living space behind a wall of sliders, with a built-in outdoor kitchen at one end and room for both dining and seating under cover.
The floor plan
Where every room actually sits.
Suites at opposite corners, the butler's pantry and bar between the garage and the kitchen, and the lanai running the full width of the back. The plan can be mirrored before permitting to suit which way your lot faces.
Dimensions and the full standard specification come with the fact sheet - ask and we will send it.
Built example
17449 Cape Horn Blvd
One we built
The Coastal, on a lakefront lot.
17449 Cape Horn Blvd is the Coastal Collection put on a premium west-facing lot in Burnt Store Lakes, with direct access to the lake and the lanai taking the sunset.
It is the clearest illustration of the plan on the right piece of ground - but the same plan works on any suitable lot. What changes from site to site is the orientation, the elevation, and which way the lanai looks.
Where you can build it
Anywhere we build, not one community.
The Coastal is a set of drawings, so where it goes is up to you and your lot. We build throughout Charlotte, Lee and Sarasota counties, anchored in Punta Gorda - including Burnt Store Lakes, Burnt Store Isles, Burnt Store Marina, Punta Gorda Isles, Pirate Harbor and Deep Creek.
Still looking
We help you find one
James holds a Florida Real Estate Broker license, so lot search is part of the same conversation rather than a separate one you have to run yourself.
Across the coast
Five markets, one team
Punta Gorda, Port Charlotte, Cape Coral, Fort Myers and Sarasota.
The collections
Three plans, one standard.
Every collection carries four bedrooms and a three-car garage, the same roof and the same impact glass. What changes is the footprint, the bath count, and how the rooms are arranged around the way you live.

Questions
The Coastal, answered.
Yes. It is a plan, not a place. We have built it in Burnt Store Lakes, but it can go on any suitable lot in Southwest Florida - yours or one we help you find. The plan is drawn for a west-facing lot with water access, and it can be mirrored to suit which way your land faces.
No. If you already own land, we design around it. If you do not, James's Florida Real Estate Broker license means we can help you evaluate and find the right lot before you buy.
Multigenerational living and guest privacy. Both suites carry their own bath and walk-in closet, and they sit at opposite corners of the plan rather than side by side.
Finishes and selections are personalized with our team as standard. Structural changes are possible before permitting, so raise them early - in a deed-restricted community the association reviews plans before the county issues the building permit.
2,600 is under air - the conditioned living space. 3,991 is the total footprint including the three-car garage, the entry and the covered lanai.
A commercial-grade aluminum metal roof, PGT impact-resistant windows on every opening, and integrated smart home technology for lighting, climate and security.
